THE INDUSTRIAL REALM.

The United Labor party of the State OF
Missouri has just held its State Convention at
Kansas City. A great deal of discussion was
had over the adoption of the Syracuse or the
Cincinnati platform, and finally the follow
ing Missouri substitute was adopted:
We, as delegates OF the United Labor party OF
Missouri in convention assembled respectfully
submit to the candid consideration OF the peo-
principles: That the legitimate function OF
good government is TO provide for each and all
equal protection from the fraud or violence OF
any, and equal security in the enjoyment
of natural rights and those opportuni-
ties for the pursuits of happiness that
nature has made common to all men; that
whenever the power OF government is used
for any other than this legitimate purpose it
must inevitably be to the advantage OF some
and to corresponding disadvantage OF others {;
that Government has no right to interfere with
and cannot abrogate those natural laws. When
the Government, with or without consideration,
grants special privileges to any OF the people
It is at the expense OF the rest OF the people /;
that such privileges are equally unjust,
whether recently granted or clothed with the re-
spectability of age that the Free-Soil party OF
the United States was right when in its platform
of 1852 il declared that all men have natural
right to a portion of the SOIL and that as the use
of the soil is indispensable to life the right of all
men to the soil is sacred as their rights TO life
itself" and that n single tax on land values ID
admirably adapted to securing to all men their
rightto the soil without injustice to any that all
such monopolies as have been built up by the
assistance of the Government through the
grant Of special privileges and all necessary
enterprises exceeding the power OF Individual
ability should be owned and controlled by the
Government, as the postal system now is that
the Australian system Of voting should be
adopted, in order to secura some approximation
to independence in and purity OF elections

The Dutch steamer w. A. Scholten, bound

a collision with the steamer Rosa Mary, ten
miles of Dover, England. A London dis
patch gives the following particulars of the
disaster:
The Scholten carried a complement az 210

Sunderland rescued ninety persons and landed
them ut the Sailors Home, Dover. One passen-
ger and @ child of the party brought to Dover
were found dead from exposure. This leaves

vessels have rescued the missing ones. AT the
time of the accident dense fog prevailed.

Rosa Mary Immediately after the shock was
felt the Scholten's passengers, all of whom
had retired for thu night, rushed on deck in
their night.g gowns. The boats promptly
only two were available. The three others were
useless, and were not lowered The water
rushed swiftly through hole in the bow, and

passengers uttered piercing yshrieks, and
many fell upon their knees and prayed aloud.

minutes of the shock the Schoten vas in

fioated and were rescued by the boats fr0mt the
steamer Ebro, which cruised around until

The Recent Growth OF the Argentine
Republic,

During the last twenty-five years the
population of the Argentine Republic
has increased 154 per cent, while that
of the United States has increased but
10 per cent, and the city of Buenos
Ayres is growing faster than Mime
apolis or Denver. Last year 1t re-
ceived 124, 900 immigrants from Eu-
rope, and the natural increase is very
large. The newcomers are mostly
Italians and Basques, with sprinkling
of Germans, Swiss, and Swedes. To
tempt the immigrants into the agricul-
tural districts the Government has
enacted land laws even more liberal
than ours. Each head of family is
entitled to $50 acres free, and as much
more as he desires to purchase, to a
limit of 1900 acres. at about rs cents
an acre in our money. Or the settler
may acquire 1900 acres free after five
years by painting 2QO acres to grain
and 2l acres to timber. Free trans
portation from Buenos Ayres to the
place of location is gronted to all
settlers and their families, exemption
from taxation for ten years, and colon
ization societies are organized which
issue bonds guaranteed by the Govern
ment, the proceeds of which are
loaned to the settlers in sums not
greater than $1,000, for five years,
with interest at six per cent, upon the
cultivation of a certain amount of land
and the erection of certain amount
of improvements. The results of these
beneficent laws are conspicuous. In
1886 nearly 100000 acres of wild land
were ploughed and planted. One firm
in Buenos Ayres sold 1900 reapers
manufactured in the United States.
and other firms a lesser number:
elevators are being erected upon the
banks of the rivers, from which wheat
is loaded into vessels for Brazil and
Europe, and the average crop was
twenty-five bushels of wheat to the
